Within CA-7 is there any consideration to allowing wildcards in job predecessor requirements

    I would like to add a predecessor requirement to a job but it only has to be any one of a group of jobs.  Example:  We have LASTBK01 through LASTBK15.  I want to make sure that one of those jobs ran before another job.  Possible job names for predecessors using wildcards might be 

    LASTBK*

    LASTBK??

    You can use a generic job dependency and this mean that the successor job will enter the request queue and it will wait for the first  job matching the generic predecessor to complete successfully before the requirement is posted.  You can not use wildcards, only generic dependencies.

     

    For example:  LASTBK*

     

    So your successor job will enter the queue and wait for the first job to complete that matches LASTBK* and then the requirement is posted.
